Birds of prey and other animals in Saja-Besaya - Spain

Discover Birds of prey and other animals in Saja-Besaya

Cantabria is the cradle of numerous bird species, which include birds of prey, vultures, and 'alimoches' (Egyptian vultures). As far as birds of prey are concerned, all of the main species are found in Saja-Besaya Natural Park, in the central part of the Cantabrian hinterland, an area riddled with rivers and inhabited with numerous animals. Among other species found at Saja-Besaya are brown bears, wolves, wood grouse, otters, hares, various types of partridges, etc. The cultural wealth of the villages located in the surroundings (although Bárcena Mayor is the only municipality lying within the park) only complements the beauty of the natural park, one of the most popular in Cantabria. This magnificent setting has attracted numerous cultures over the years: the 'castros' (fortified camps), dolmens, ruins, as well as the remains of the Roman road, stand as silent witnesses of this region's history.

Book early to find the cheapest flights. Unlike holiday packages, where you can often find great last minute deals, the cheapest flights tend to be those booked in advance. Many low cost airlines bump up their prices as the flight gets nearer, especially on key European routes.

Set a budget and be opportunistic when it comes to your choice of destination. Attractive last-minute deals can occasionally be found, but are not to be relied on. For example, if a flight is less than 60% full a week before departure, airlines might launch last-minute sales on the remaining seats. This practice is common on major routes in the Mediterranean. However, unlike booking in advance, there's no guarantee that there'll be seats available, meaning you risk missing out on a holiday altogether!
